We stayed at the Great House Inn on our last night of vacation so that we could be relatively close to the airport. The staff was pleasant and the room was big with free wifi & cable tv. The water pressure was awesome. There was a coffee maker with coffee, one bottle of water and a package of crackers waiting... More

The Great House is a beautiful, gracious colonial style three story hotel. The rooms are on the second floor. Each room is large and spacious, and elegantly furnished. I would recommend asking for a room that doesn't open onto the lobby because it can be a bit noisy. But otherwise this is your best choice for a place to stay... More

A nice, clean, quiet room. It was good for a night stay, nothing fancy. A room for two with a king bed was 200USD, and a single room with a full bed was 189USD. Rooms begin on the second floor, there is no elevator, but there is someone available to help carry your bags if you can't get them up... More

Our stay at The Great House concluded a 3-week trip in Guatemala and Belize. After staying in a number of hostels and small guesthouses and doing a good deal of camping, this was a wonderful choice for our last night. The Great House is a fabulous building and the rooms very quaint, complete with very comfortable beds, a great bathroom... More

Our group stayed at the Great House for our last night in Belize at the end of our vacation. Wish it could have been longer. The old structure is classic, the rooms clean with all the emenities (fridge, safe, etc.) the staff was great and the price dramatically less than what you pay "across the street". The location is perfect.... More

We stayed at the great house after a week in San Pedro. We felt at home. I and my husband are from Belize and was a little skeptical in staying in the city, but we felt very safe here.

I felt really sorry for the staff and owners of this hotel. It's got a great location the rooms are large, clean and tidy and sitting on the veranda sipping rum whilst watching the Caribbean sunset is cool. But Belize city looks nice, but you do not feel at ease at all! We decided to ignore what the guidebooks said... More

As a developing country Belize City still has a long way to go. However the old Capital still retains a lot of history, walking the street of our little City one can only imagine the Colonial times. The Great House Inn is a part of that Colonial Time and we do our best to maintain that charm of the colonial... More

It is in the charming and relatively safe Ft. George/Lighthouse area of Belize City, right along the sea. The rooms are very charming and spacious. The hotel overall is very quaint and classic. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Just don't go out after dark! Free breakfast next door at Le Petit Cafe was a huge plus. Really, this... More

My mother is from Belize way back in colonial times and knew this building when it was a family home. We stayed here for 2 weeks July/August - essentially to catch up with family. If you want a hermetically sealed holiday experience, don't come here. If you like the idea of sitting on a lovely wide veranda drinking rum punch,... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
It would be my pleasure to welcome you to this wonderful Colonial home, which we have meticulously appointed with all the amenities for your comfort and convenience.This Belizean Landmark was built in 1927 by talented craftsmen and still retains its beauty, grace and charm. Now, this magnificent four-story colonial style residence is probably the largest classic wooden home still in existence in Belize. Originally built as a family home, this wonderful structure still provides, the warmth and comfort reminiscent of the early colonial times of Belize. Spacious verandahs allow you to relax and let go amidst the soothing embrace of the Caribbean breezes.The look and feel of yesterday with today's modern conveniences make THE GREAT HOUSE Belize's most desirable "outpost" away from home. Our colonial heritage and ambience are faithfully preserved in all of our sixteen guest rooms. Each is individually colour coordinated with a host of tasteful and comfortable appointments.From polished pine floor to fresh fruit on arrival, our guest rooms and our staff let you made the right choice. ... more   less
